Thoreau on modern society (21st century)
"In proportion as our inward life fails, we go more constantly and desperately to the post-office. You may depend on it, that the poor fellow who walks away with the greatest number of letters, proud of his extensive correspondence, has not heard from himself this long while.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Life Without Principle (1863)
Replace “post office” with “internet media” (any variety) and “letters” with “messages”, and you have an observation on modern society (21st century)!
